Think it's a bit harsh to blame any individual player It's more about the way we play as a team. Naive, leaving too much space for a counter attack.

Try hesgoal.com Eventually got one in Dutch ---- though it's just locked up!

At least you've got a picture I just get Norton stopping access because of malicious misdirection etc, or a load of adverts! Having to listen on solent old school.

Of course he could always change Amazon's name to Saints.😉 Think I'd cope with that!

Still haven't received my car parking season ticket. It's just a bit of printed cardboard. Surely that wasn't farmed out to a third party in China ! Paid the club £240 for it so I could be sure of being close to the ground ( getting on a bit!) No apology. No refund. Can't see any excuse for this.

We wanted to sign him and he was at end of contract at Reading but the rules were that they had rights anyway because of his age and wanted £1million+ for him - a massive figure then and for our league.

So he was lodging with a host family at Everton. Where is his home? If he's from the South, more chance of him settling and staying maybe?

Sky said something about club refunding general admission tickets?

And without my parking ticket!

Not only have we not received our season tickets, but we've also not received our parking season tickets either. So quite how the club expects us to park to get to the ticket office isn't clear ! Not impressive.

Where are people getting £30 million from? Sky are saying £25 million

Surely the sell on clause doesn't apply to a buy back? They'd have to pay the full 25 I'd have thought. What I'm not clear about is how much power the buy back gives them. Anyone know? Does it mean they can just pay that and take him back whenever they feel like it?

And as I've pointed out before, the media quoted weekly wages are usually what the player takes home after tax etc - presumably football works that way because of so many foreign players who move from country to country and want to know what they'll actually get, regardless of the local tax rules. So £65k a week actually equates to a salary well over £5 milion a year before tax etc. Top players are on £10mill, £20mill, or even £30 million a year if the figures quoted for Kane at City are true. And we wonder why clubs go bust!

Yes a 2 tier society...... responsible moral human beings who've been vaccinated to protect others as well as themselves- and 'others'.

You have to remember that football wages are usually quoted *after* tax. Tge obscenely high money that we hear players are paid are actually their take home pay. The clubs pay their tax for them in effect - or in Portsmouth's case they didn't! 🙂 So to pay someone say £60k a week will cost the club around 100k. And it is wage costs that show in the accounts, not the take home pay.

Walcott is a useful player to have but surely we can't afford the wages he's used to?

Yes? but unfortunately his bid was left next door while we were out.

Fair enough but I'd have thought he'd be on the bench instead of Lewis.

McCarthy? Rested or......?

So why isn't salisu on the bench?

Any of the 2000 on-line? What's it feel like there ?

Those supporters that are successful in the ballot will have their seats allocated and will receive an email with information about their tickets by Tuesday 8th December. 'By'... but people are often sloppy about such details and it may actually mean by the end of Tuesday. But as said earlier, my view is that it's a serious risk for anyone at all vulnerable. Never mind how distanced you might be in the seats, think how that bloke up the row who can't hold his drink will push past you to go to the gents etc. You'll often be closer than 1m.

So the rules in different tiers mean that some teams will have (small) crowds - all home fans presumably- whilst other clubs will still have no spectators at all. Hmmmm.

Any news on JWP's fitness?

Shouldn't matter. He's not Maradona!
